Gorgeous! When you look at the picture you really long to touch the wood.
I love the "sandals". Who would have worn them?
Ladies of the Kaffa province.
Betty, it also feels great to the touch, so smooth.
Wonderful items - I am quite speechless! Wonderful carvings, especially on what you call the boxes for the knives. Just fabulous! Looks like thick solid Wood. Wow!!!! I love old and good Wood. It is so full of stories and still alive somehow. The shoes remind me of Moroccon Hamam-shoes.. with their "high heels and high fronts"........very interesting.
Sorry a bit late to comment back, but yes Eva these are solid wooden items. I love them myself also a lot The high heeled shoes are sometimes not so heigh depend how intense they have been worn. Just to keep their feet dry. (I do not know if they managed to not to get stuck in the mud, because at that time there were not tar roads.
Thanks Ingrid, no Problem, I still have not installed the new Internet at home..... so I only look at it from time to time, like now..............
